Rated RKO

By the time 2006 came around, both Edge and Randy Orton had become major stars on the RAW brand. By mid-2006, Triple H and Shawn Michaels had reformed DX to take down Mr. McMahon and his band of villains. The rivalry ended inside Hell In A Cell, where DX defeated Vince, Shane, and Big Show. In October 2006, Edge and Orton formed an alliance to put an end to DX. The primary reason why the alliance was formed was that Edge and Orton believed DX was preventing the duo from becoming World Champions.

Rated RKO gave DX its first loss since their reunion. Edge and Orton went on to win the RAW Tag Team titles. Lita was also a part of the group for a while, before leaving because of her real-life retirement at Survivor Series 2006. The team disbanded months later, when Edge moved to WWE SmackDown, soon after WrestleMania 23. The duo teased a reunion following Edge's Royal Rumble return earlier this year, but Orton ended up attacking the Rated-R Superstar the next night on RAW.
